A bill for an act relating to intimidation with a dangerous weapon, and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The bill revises Iowa’s intimidation law to make it a Class C felony when a person intentionally uses a dangerous weapon to cause fear, injury, or anger, and a Class D felony for similar acts without that specific intent. It establishes maximum prison terms of 10 years for Class C and 5 years for Class D, with corresponding fine ranges. The change aims to strengthen penalties for weapon‑based intimidation in buildings, vehicles, aircraft, trains, boats, or crowds.
